AAGA in obstetric anaesthesia

چکیده
headline 16.1. There were 14 cases of AAGA during obstetric general anaesthesia reported to NAP5. Obstetric cases account for 0.8% of general anaesthetics in the NAP5 Activity Survey but ~10% of reports of AAGA to NAP5, making it the most markedly over-represented of all surgical specialties. Most reports of AAGA occurred after Caesarean section, but a number of cases were reported following obstetric anaesthesia for other procedures. Obstetric general anaesthesia includes most of the risk factors for AAGA, including use of rapid sequence induction with thiopental and neuromuscular blockade during maintenance, in a population with a relatively high incidence of obesity and difficult airway management. The urgency of the situation frequently necessitates surgery beginning within moments of induction. AAGA in obstetric anaesthesia CHAPTER 16

The SNAP-1 study aimed to measure patient satisfaction with anaesthesia care and the inci...

متن کاملNAP5: the tip of the iceberg, or all we need to know?
It is often said that every good study starts with a good question. The question and hypothesis then determine the methods, which determine the results on which the conclusions are based. It seems simple, but when it comes to research about anaesthesia, defining the research question can often be tricky, particularly when it comes to the issue of accidental awareness during general anaesthesia ...
